IMPROVEMENT IN PARLOR rCOOK-STOVES.

Specitcat-ion forming part of Letters Patent No. 153,603, dated July 28, 1874; application filed May 15, 1874.

To all whom Iit may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL E. PARIS, of Troy, in the county of Rensselaer and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Parlor Cook-Stove, of which the following is a specification:

Myinvention relates to cook-stoves; and the special features of improvement consist of a construction and combination of the fire-box back, extending to the top of the stove, with the reservoir, oven-top, and oven-fines, so as to dispense with the usual top or boiler flue, and to heat both the oven and the reservoir by the direct radiation of the heat from the fire-box; to obtain an open flue, with a damper combined with a grating in the firehox back and the reservoir and outlet flue, so that both the lire box and the reservoir -tlue can be brought into direct communlcation with the exit-flue when neither the oven nor the reservoir are required to be heated.

In the accompanying' drawings, Figure l represents a View, in perspective, of a cook-stove embracing my invention. Fig. 2 represents a similar view, with a portion of the back-plate removed to expose the reservoir-space and the descending flue. Fig. 3 is a cross section through the reservoir and descending flue. Fig. 4 is a similar section through the ascend ing liue and its exit-opening. Fig. 5 is a vertical section through the reservoir and the ascendin g and descending lues. Fig. 6 is a per spective view of the stove with the reservoir y in place. Fig. 7 is a front view of the sectional hinged cover for the stove, and Fig. 8 a perspective view of the same. Fig. 9 is a top view of the stove. Fig. l0 is a perspective view of the stove constructed to receive a removable reservoir, and Figs. ll and 12 are vertical sections of the same.

The oven His in the lower portion of the stove, and extends forward, with its front plate c forming that of the stove, while the fire-box Mis located directly above the oven H, with the top b thereof forming a chute below the grate to discharge the ashes and cinders therefrom into the ash-pan F at the front of the stove, thereby keeping the top plate of the oven free from ashes for the radiation of heat, while forming the bottom of the gratespace c, and, with-the front plate d, forms a conduit for the ashes to the ash-pan, which has a hearth, O2, some distance below the grate, while a supplemi-ntal hearth, (J1, projects from the front plate d on a level with the grate, thus forming a lower ash-pan hearth and an upper grate-hearth, so that the latter catches any coal and ashes that may fall in feeding the stove, and keep the lower or main hearth clean for dishes, &c., and for this purpose the lower hearth extends out some distance beyond the upper one. From the upper hearth the front plate inclines rearward to the top, and the door being provided with Mansard windows B, the supplemental hearth forms a base thereto and a shield for the lower hearth. The construction of my stove does not require a boiler or top flue, but has a rear due-space, I, which communicates directly with the lire-box M by a grating, D, which, rising to the top plate, forms the lire-box back, extending' from the middle of the top of the oven. The grating,

however, is at the top of this fire-back, so that ervoir and down under the oven along the iiues K and L, and ascends the flue J to the exit I), which is located at the rear corner of the stove in line With the reservoir, thereby saving the room of placing the exit-pipe either in front or rear of the reservoir.

The immediate proximity of the reservoir to the fire-box grating D gives the advantage of quickly heating the Water therein, while the fire-back divides the space above the top of the oven and exposes the top plate to the heat on both sides of the fire-back. Now, the damper G only opens and closes the flue J with the grating to direct (when opened against the lire-back, as in Fig. 4)'the products of combustion directly into the flue J and the exit-pipe;

Abut when turned forward, as in Fig. 3, the prothe exit by means of the tire-back space I', to turn the heat from the oven. By this construction the ue J, when the damper is turned back, opens directly in front of the grating and brings the exit P in direct communication with the ire-box.

The reservoir E is just in rear of the fire-box back and grating D, and the heat from the firebox passes directly through the grating against the reservoir into the descending flue.

By this construction the usual top boiler-flue is dispensed with, and the stove made in appearance more like a parlor-heater.

The reservoir may be made stationary or removable, and in either case is placed in close proximity to the tire-box back, and in the space usually occupied by the top flue, as shown in Figs. 3 and l0, and at the corner over the descending Hue, and in line with the exit-flue P at the other corner. When the damper G is closed the reservoir is most efi'ectually heated.

The top plate oi' the stove is provided with boiler-holes, and I provide a cover, A', for covering the plates N, and holes for the cooking utensils. It is made in two parts or sections to fit the top of the stove, meeting in the center, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8. Each section is hinged or pivoted at its outer corner by means of lugs Qzftted into holes in the top of the stove in such manner as to allow them to be swung back, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 9, to expose the top of the stove for use. Being in sections, these covers can be easily handled, and the hinges are of such construe tion as to allow them to be raised, as shown in Fig. 7, turned out by the sides of the stove, or removed altogether from the stove. They may be of any form, but I prefer to make them light, and open, and orhamental.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination, in a cookingstove, of the fire-box M, having' its rear wall extending to the fop plate, and provided with a grating,

D, with the due-space I' back of the grating for the reservoir, whereby the latteris arranged in the space usually occupied by the top or boiler iiue, and close to the fire-box back D, as described.

2. In combination with the fire-box grating D, the due-space I', damper G, and the ascending Hue J whereby the rire-box M and the descending iiue I may be put in communication with the ascending iiue J above the oven, substantially as and for the purpose described.

3. The grated fire-back D of the nre-box M, in combination with the reservoir E, exposed to the radiation of the heat from said back, and the oven H, whose top plate extends both to the front and rear of said fire-box back, and heated Without a top iue, substantially as dcscribed.

4. The combination, in a cook-stove, of the exit-pipe P, at one corner thereof, with the reservoir Eat the other corner, and in line with the exit-pipe, and both located contiguous to the grated back D of the fire-box, substantially as described.

5. The sectional cover A', hinged at the opposite corners of each section by lugs Q2, wherc "by they may be separately adjusted and re DANL E. PARIS.
